What the cluck?

[@williamgreen9162]

Agree stretch the cab

[@kjjeep2718]

I know its not part of the plan but if you could stretch the front of the cab forward about 6" I bet that would really help with leg room. Hector could do it.

[@maxironpaw]

Mike, you'll need that soil you found at the bottom of the A pillar when you wire the truck. It's for ground.

[@elblancochingon8138]

Stretch the cab about a foot or Robbies wrecker will NEVER GET USED! It wouldn't be terribly difficult, would look cool,make room for a roll bar and would make it WAY more functional and comfortable

[@Beandiptheredneck]

I'd stretch it and widen it and make it taller, then forget it and put a regular pickup cab on it 😂

[@markbutler6634]

4-6" would make a big difference.

[@haydenperrine854]

@@markbutler6634 THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID....

[@xcracer311]

I even wonder how comfortable Matt's heavy wrecker cab is the seats look very vertical.

[@derekwalters6132]

Even an 8” stretch would make a helluva lot of difference even though it wouldn’t look so far out of place. But you’re right it needs more room in the cab to make it accessible and comfortable, was watching Paul from Fab Rat’s who collaborated with Robby on the Golden Nugget project build a rollback with the cab of his mom and dad’s old pickup truck and he had to modify things for comfort as well.

[@mrfunnylookinhayes9088]

I love how you guys have so much fun together on the job. I used to be an asst. manager and I always worked second shift 5 out of my 5 work days. And all the part time workers only wanted to work with me. And not the other asst. and the store manager. They knew we was going to have fun while doing our job to make the day go faster. You should never take your job to serious, because they will get rid of you quickly and have your replace their before you clock out. Have fun while you working. It help keep your employees around for a long time. We ate good. Me and my employee was as one. If one was not doing their job, I would send them home.

[@Lad733]

Having a good time while at work definitely makes it much more enjoyable and a lot of the times it feels like you aren't even working because of how fast it goes by.

I drive a 34 Ford truck. I installed a seat from a Mazda cx9 third position bench, fits real nice. Both back rests fold forward to access back panel. The back rests are shallow to help with leg room, I'm 6'2". Great video

Looking at this the only thing I could picture was stretching the hood like an old peterbuilt and moving the firewall forward this truck would look awesome with a long hood

[@dougbourdo2589]

My first vehicle as a teen was a 1929 Ford Model A Pickup truck with a cab just like this one. Thought it was a hoot to drive, that cab was SMALL !

[@kolt4d559]

Amazing how quickly you guys got that crate motor installed into Robby's wrecker.

[@TumbleweedRancher]

When they do a mock-up, they really emphasize the mock!

[@billsrq1788]

People were much smaller back then as in shorter lol Hello all from Siesta Key Florida

[@brockryan3405]

Great point. I went to Fenway in Boston and tried to sit in the old seats and NOPE. Same with my local antique theater. I'm only 6' but no doubt people got bigger. Go look at a Civil War museum at authentic uniforms...it was like kids fought the battle.

[@petermartin2643]

I work in a smelter that was built in 1890, I’m 6 feet tall and the beams were 5foot 9 inches, can’t count the times my hard hat hit them. People ate less and didn’t grow tall because of it.

@@glenjamindle If you take a look at his channel you will see some of his earliest videos are recoveries, Rory is no fool and if he is building Robby anything its because he thinks he deserves it.

He seems to be specializing in paint/finish, but everyone wants to do an occasional recovery.

[@ecurb2]

Long time subscriber and fan. Priceless Rory rolling his eyes during the conversation of a bench seat. Keep up the great videos.

[@redmondjp]

These old trucks LOOK so cool, but once you see how TINY it is inside the cab, it pretty much kills it for me (as far as anything you plan on using more than occasionally). It make me really appreciate the massive amount of space inside the cab of my 4-door 2005 F350 Super Duty Fummins. And for off-road, you really want some space around your head so you aren't slamming it into the side of the cab, the back of the cab, the roof, etc. My hat's off to y'all for taking on this project!

[@ScottDLR]

That;s what I was thinking. Maybe raise the entire cab up some?

[@hibiki54]

People were smaller when those trucks were made.

[@brucehalleran1149]

​@hibiki54 Not that much smaller. Both of my grandfather's could have driven this truck when it was new. The shorter one was 5' 11". The grandmothers would have actually been able to fit behind the pedals...

[@dennisd5989]

You need to make that with an extended cab. Cut the back off right behind the doors and add a foot to it

[@wjhjr1415]

2024 qoute of the year! Mike says " if you use it wrong enough, everything's a hammer"! Fn love that

[@kaydog2008]

One thing to keep in mind back then people were much shorter. A good idea is to extend the back of the cab off the door piller by 6" or even 8". Paul had the same issue for his older off road wrecker.

[@robertgibbons361]

nice video. and thanks for the shot of the plumbers crack--I can't unsee that LOL!!

[@doughaven-rf8id]

[@bradleymadosh911]

I would extend the cab so yous can fit inside of it better. Add on behind the doors this way more leg room and room for the steering wheel. Its a cool truck but small. I don't know what they where thinking back when the first built that truck 😂 It will look cool when its done thow I bet

[@Nicco.L]

Robby should have picked up the cab and taken it with him to his shop, and stretched 6-10" and widened it about 4". And you guys could have started with the boom when he has the cab. I think that would have looked really cool 😎 And it would have been a lot more user friendly 😅 i bet he has the skills to do it

[@Nicco.L]

Are you going to fabricate a boom like on trailmater? Or use a boom from a wrecker? No matter what you do I’m really looking forward to seeing it 😎

YESSSSS I have been waiting for this day ever since you hauled it in

[@Clawson_customs]

Can't wait to see how this turns out

[@wrtrmike]

All newer vehicles use a pulse counter on the transmission output shaft to determine speed. I had a problem after changing gears in my car. I was able to get a little circuit board that intercepts the transmission pulses and can be set so your speedometer reads correctly. Once installed you just connect to via Bluetooth and set your actual speed and that’s it… I got it from Dakota Digital. It was not expensive either.

Rory, you should cut the cab into and extend it to make a larger cab. Mike, the quality of steel used back in those days was a lot better quality and wouldn’t rust like the crap we have today. I know of an older car up in the mountains that has been outdoors for over a hundred years and the frame is as solid as the day it was made. Keep the videos coming! 😊
